غلطة شائعة:
Learners often confuse "truthful" with "true." Use "truthful" mainly for people and their behavior (a truthful person, a truthful answer), and "true" for facts or statements (a true story, a true fact). "Honest" is more common than "truthful" in everyday speech, so both are usually possible (an honest/truthful person), but you cannot say *"a very truthful to his wife"; you must say "very truthful to his wife" or "very honest with his wife."
